Y2K Prophecy - NOSTRADAMVS

I wonder if anyone can help me out here. I've just been reading a fascinating book on Nostradamus "The New Revelations" by John Hogue.

Some of his millennial quatrains struck a chord with me in that they seemed to tie in with what a Sufi Prophet predicted back in 1920, that at the new millennium man would fear and fight other men, run to hide in the hills, mass starvation etc. etc.

I'd like to follow up on this with a little more reading, but I can't remember the name. I did see the prophecy however on a Y2K related home page some time ago - haven't mangaged to find it since. Anyone else recall seeing this site, or have any idea of the author??? Thanks in advance, Andy.

In the December issue of FATE magazine (on page 13) a regular columnist announced a Y2K contest. He asks that you hunt through Nostradamus's quatrains to see if any could relate to Y2K. I'm not ambitious enough to enter the contest, but I am eager to see the results.

As long as we're on the subject of prophets, why not delve into what
the Bible says about the tests of a true prophet...if no one has any
objection...(or if they do, for that matter)

(1) I John 4:2 -- "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit
that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God."

a "prophet" that isn't a Christian ain't no prophet, according to the
Bible....that leaves Jeane Dixon, Edgar Cayce, Dionne Warwick, all
those 1-900 psychics slam out in the cold (Hint: in the Old
Testament, all of those people would have been stoned to death, at
God's orders)

(2) Isaiah 8:20 -- "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak
not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

If they disagree with God's revealed Word,....nope...uh-uh...negatory

(3) Jeremiah 28:9 -- "The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when
the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be
known, that the Lord hath truly sent him."

(3a) Deuteronomy 18:22 -- "When a prophet speaketh in the name of the
Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing
which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it
presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

A prophet of God is 100% accurate. Not 99%. Not 99.4%. 100%. God
knows all, and doesn't make mistakes.

(4) Matthew 7:20 -- "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

Of course all of the foregoing presupposes that a person gives any
credence to the Bible. We all have our opinions.

I agree with you that not all prophets are true prophets. The Bible
has excellent guidelines for discerning between the two.

You need to explain one thing, though. You said that a prophet that
isn't a Christian ain't no prophet, so that leaves out Jeane Dixon
and Edgar Cayce from being true prophets. How do you know Jeane Dixon
and Edgar Cayce aren't Christians?

Today is December the 29th year 2004. I was just looking thru Google
to see if there was anything about the major earthquake and tsunami.
Nostradamus came to mind. I've stumbled acrosss this page and have
found the previous responses were written in the year 1998. Alot of
shit has happened since 1998. I'm getting ready to break into 2005
in two days. In response to the previous responses,
REMEMBER!! "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave site safely
in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally
worn out, shouting "Holy Shit...what a ride!!"
